Can we talk about the underrated side of multiplayer

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the route for a while.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. indie got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. I learned that one the expensive way.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. I would test it for 9 days before deciding.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.
